Question:

My car is a 2003 neon & lately while its idling it is shuddering - and its a pretty hard shudder.?

A leak from the bead is usually caused by poor installation of the tyre or by dirt or damage to the wheel rim. Either way that can be rectified without tyre replacement. Trouble is most tyre companies are bulls**tters who will try to sell you new tyres, shock absorbers and anything else they can think of.
Try and find a small independent garage/ specialist who will value your custom and give you an honest opinion.
Good luck

Depends why it's leaking? If its just a bad seal, perhaps caused by a bit of corrosion on an alloy wheel, the tyre will just need removed, the rim cleaned up and then the tyre refitted again.

At what temperature[degree] should a car engine run ?

Hi there,
A tyre leaking from the bead area is either a faulty tyre or faulty/rusty wheel rim.
The tyre can be damaged through improper/incorrect fitment or the roadwheel rusts(steel) or erodes(alloy) and air leaks from the bead area.
A tube can be fitted but you MUST have someone remove the wording in the tyre wall which says it's "tubeless" If the tyre is damaged you must fit a new tyre as any damage affects tyre structure. SAFETY!!
Cheers

You will ruin the tyre by running it soft, but it may simply be corrosion or dirt on the wheel rim, have a tyre shop look at it, kwik fit do free puncture repair but charge for a valve and balance, Unless the tyre is fairly new and expenive it may not be cost effective to fix it.

How do I hotwire my car?

Usually if the bead is leaking then what needs to be done is:- Remove the tyre from the wheel, then clean the inner edge of the wheel where the tyre sits, which is usually corroded if the bead is leaking, then replace the tyre after coating the bead edge with a suitable sealant, i have never yet had to replace a tyre because of the bead leaking.
